Default Flexplate - Need a new one?

I have a new TCI flexplate on my 383. My torque converter was tapped for larger than stock studs(i dont know why). So I drilled out one of the flexplate stud holes so it would fit. Heres where it gets weird.....I sent my torque converter to the manufacturer to have the stall changed and to be rebuilt. When the converter came back i noticed the converters case was a new one with the factory (smaller diameter) mounting holes.

Question : Can I still use the flexplate? One of the mounting holes is larger than it should since im now going to be using the factory sized studs. Also will the balance of the flexplate be affected?

If you need a new one I ordered the wrong flexplate and ended up with a TCI flexplate for an lt1 instead of an ls1. Shoot me a pm if your interested in it.
